At our normal weekly counter-protest against the Toxic Left extremists on the corner of College Rd & Oleander Dr. in Wilmington, NC, the Toxic Leftists announced their intentions to protest on Memorial Day. Despicable enough in itself, they are expecting no counter-protest on top of it. We have decided to show up anyway. Our signage is in the vein of Protest Warrior. our numbers our few (1-3), but our guerrila tactics work like a charm. Please, if it is at all possible show up tomorrow anytime from 10AM-1PM. 20+ signs are available if you don't have any. Join us to...

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - A hacker put an obscene message, possibly for this city's mayor, on an electronic traffic message board, shocking morning commuters.

I work at a CBS TV station we are on standby for a possible SPECIAL REPORT on Yasser Arryfat... Death? Dunno

The American electorate has, in the popular vote, given President George W. Bush a very convincing mandate to serve at the White House for another term and his triumph in the Electoral College will be confirmed when all of the votes are counted. -SNIP- Those on the left and in the liberal chattering classes in Britain who insultingly deride the way American people voted in this most democratic election chose to ignore the pain and the suffering inflicted by the 9/11 attacks, and the enormous economic and military commitment provided by the United States to underpin global peace and stability.

I work at a sinclair owned station, and no matter which way people think that work there(although we know which way most of them lean) they were still pulling for Bush because of the threat made on Sinclair by the Kerry campiagn. this thought just popped in my head. my job is more safe under Bush than Kerry, let alone my family. go Bush... Did i just hear on Fox that Kerry is going to concede?
